Waking Up a Sleeping Giant

Should I, or shouldn’t I?

I think I should.

I’ve noticed that even though I haven’t posted here since September ::blush:: I’m still getting lots of wonderful comments, especially on the Cinnamon and Honey Weight Loss Tea article. And yesterday someone from Cheshire Kitchens left a heart-warming comment on my Lentil Tacos - Tortillas Made From Rice Flour recipe article.

Thank you, comment-writers! You make me so very happy!

So I took another look at this blog. I love the topic. I love sharing my recipes. The reason I quit writing is that I was feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities, work on other websites, and writing aspirations. So I thought maybe cutting down on the number of blogs I had might help — but I see this blog continues to grow and inspire people despite my absence, so I’m going to come back and give you more of my attention and time.

Yes, I am the sleeping giant of this blog. The woman behind the words…. and I am delighted to know that there are people out there finding gems of value in the postings I’ve left here.

May there be many more postings, visitors, and comments in the days to come!

Hi, my name is Linda. This is my personal home and hearth journal.

I am a self-trained herbalist. I became a vegetarian when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was a San Francisco Bay Area hippie in the 60s and early 70s. Then I became a mom - the most important job I've ever had.

Now I live in a very small mountain community. The nearest fast food restaurant is more than forty miles during summer, and more than seventy miles in winter when the pass is snowed under. I've never owned a cell phone, but I talked on one once.
